Yeah, I think Ford is looking at it in the dollars and cents approach instead of let's take care of our customers approach. American big business doin' its thing. I filed a complaint with NHTSA and admonish EVERYONE onhere to do the same. Maybe if enough of complain the government will push Ford...

That is why I think everyone should flood the NHTSA with complaints and keep their dealers busy charging and checking Maverick batteries. If it becomes enough of a problem Ford WILL deal with it!

I have already talked to both the salesman at my dealer and the national rep about this. However, if they find there is no issue with the battery as they are saying it would be hard to win. This is an annoyance more than a safety issue as they say. "Put a battery maintainer on it unless you...

Looking at Ford parts I see most regular batteries like the EFB in the hybrid are $199.99 and the BAGM-H4 is $229.99. I would gladly pay $30 difference even though Ford, if they are interested in retaining customers, should replace all of the defective batteries free of charge. Hence, forcing...

I already have a national service center case on this. I told him the AGM battery stock # is BAGM-H4 and my battery is the battery you mentioned which is the enhanced flooded battery. The national advisor is only suggesting perhaps having another dealer look at it. I asked if ford was going to...

I agree. I love the Maverick other than the battery issue and Ford's lack of concern to me and the issue as a whole.

I got the truck back with the same standard reply We can't find anything wrong, you need to drive it more." I asked about replacing with an AGM battery and service manager said it already has an AGM. ALL Mavericks have always had AGM batteries. My battery is part #BXT-99RT4-A. I might be wrong...

Good luck but be prepared to hear "you need to drive it more."

I bought a power pack to jump start my truck, just in case. Fits nicely right next to the battery1

I knew it! Ford cop out answer. I am going to start replying "Ford does not hire enough qualified people including apparently this service department!"

May I ask, how much do you drive it? My dealer blames my battery issues due to not driving it enough. I think that is Ford's stock answer for low mileage vehicles.

Dealer sent the truck back with same old song and dance "we can't find anything wrong, customer needs to drive it more." They stated it DOES have an AGM battery in it." BXT-99RT4-A

OK, thanks.

They might be doing that but I have my doubts. As I said I have not heard a word from them so have no idea what, if anything, is being done. I think the dealership has it in their mind my lack of daily driving is the cause and don't want to spend much time pursuing it if ford is not paying them...

What I was afraid of but thanks for the info.

That is what I was thinking, too. Something about a weld if I remember correctly. Ford NEEDS to recall or at least deal with anyone having a battery issue in the hybrids by replacing the flooded batteries with an AGM. Plus a software update to more properly allow the alternator to recharge the...

OK, let me get this clear before I raise a stink with my dealership. This recall If for both EB and hybrids with bad batteries under warranty regardless of build dates? I have a '24 hybrid built in Jan'24. Battery was replaced once. Still have the same issue. I got the low battery mode warning 7...

Thanks for this information. For some reason my dealership seemingly does not get the same messages or ignores them.

5 days after they picked up the truck (7 days since a full charge) it has gone in low battery mode again. Getting closer and closer to a lemon law claim over a seemingly solvable issue.

that is all over my head but glad to have someone tech savvy on this group like you. Did you replace it with an AGM battery?
